What I want to know is if they act like clowns do we plunk them?

You know that they will.

 

Another clown for the circus: this week's crew chief (1B tonight, HP tomorrow) is Jeff Head.

 

Yost and Donay have lengthened our lineup (lately). Hope they can continue.

 

I’m a lot more worried about 3-6 than 7-9 this weekend. I can’t stomach another weekend of Shelton, Shelnut, and Kurland having one decent game each. Since the Missouri series:

Heyman: .274
Shelton: .242
Shelnut: .197
Kurland: .185

Heyman has been on an upward trend but the others have been slumping hard for a while. Shelton has been especially bad with RISP (under .200)

 

Shelton, Heyman, Shelnut and Kurland need to get their bats going. .260, .250, .255, .253 ain't good enough for 3-6 in your lineup, especially when we know how good they have been and can be.

 

Great minds. You put up your post just a couple of seconds before mine hit.

 

So @ocalaman, you’re saying that you and @astrogator are handling this? Well good!!! One less thing…..

 

Vols Lineup—


SP—Chris Stamos


Earl Stamos—NEVER heard of him….

 

What's a TN virgin? A ten year old who can outrun her brothers.

 

Why are there no prostitutes in Tennessee? Because they're all Volunteers.

Why do Tennessee fans all like that shade of orange? Because they can wear it to the games, then hunting on Sunday, then all week at work while they're picking up garbage.

Why do ducks fly over Tennessee upside down? Because there's nothing worth crapping on.

Why did UT disband the water polo team? Because all their horses drowned.

 

Isn't their coach a clown?

 

One delay issue is Coppola had already warmed up. Now he's in dugout with ice on his shoulder. Oops now there's actual rain.

 

Anyone have an ET start time?

 

He's a guy you love to hate but he is winning at Tenn which hadn't been done in a while.
Since he started coaching in 2018 he is winning at .704 - the two previous guys were not getting it done at .479 and .489 - and then there was Rod Delmonico who was pretty good at .638 over 18 years. Sully was .681 when this season started.

 

Damn...that sux if the rain doesn't stop soon.
